Altcoins and ICOs Explained in Plain English

An ICO is a fundraising operation for a project through the sale of cryptographic tokens. The tokens are sold at a discount and later on may be used within the project or sold for a profit. ICOs are unregulated and hold a lot of risk for uneducated investors.
Altcoins, as alternative currencies to Bitcoin. There are four main factors to take into account when evaluating a cryptocurrency - Adoption, security, innovation, and incentives.

CAUTION!! Many scammers are using the comment section to promote their scams and sometimes even use the name “99Bitcoins” in their profile. Never send money to someone you don’t know and don’t accept offers to trade or exchange cryptocurrency from strangers. Stay safe 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@gnahthe]

Many KZbin content creators could greatly benefit by studying Nate’s method of speaking. His varying pitch, steady pace, proper use of pausing and emphasis, no word whiskers, etc. Great work, Nate.

The more I look at Crypto coins, the more I see them as trump cards! We really need a app, that shows coins as power cards, *Volume *Security *Speed Ect.. then you can compare different coins better! A app would be useful, so hard to choose the right one,

[@Kirankumar-lb6nh]

Nice explanation also your voice is toooooo good

[@BitcoinEffect]

You're very kind. Thanks for the compliment!

[@emilyb1794]

Thanks for the great video! Just a quick question: So with IPOs & buying stock, there are often perks for the stock owners in the long run if the company goes well like dividends etc - in addition to the inc stock price. With ICOs and owning the tokens, there doesn't seem to be any benefit besides relying on the the "hype" continuing long term and people keep buying the coins? i..e. the price of the coins won't necessarily correlate with the companies future success. The price of the token over the long run seems to be independent of the company's performance and dependent solely on public hype. Is this right? Because just trying to discern the benefits of ICOs + investing in startups for the Hodler style investor? Thanks!

[@MemerDad]

Nate is a cool guy. Thank you Nate and thank you 99 bitcoins. I hope you can be 100 one day:)

Say I buy bitcoin and then an altcoin. Say bitcoin drops by 50% while the altcoin increases by double. Do I make any money then? Is my money on both the altcoin and bitcoin at the same time or just one of them?

[@BruceWaynee.]

Was here

[@Commando303X]

0:54: "Now, you may ask yourself, 'Why do we even need alt-coins, in the first place?'" It would be hilarious if the next sentence were, "Well, the answer is simple: we don't," then the video abruptly and immediately ended at one minute and two seconds.

[@MzFoxyRoxy]

Who’s watching this in November 2020 and Ethereum ETH price at $567 💰🤑

[@matthewhenry6051]

Cryptometh is probably the next safemoon tbh

[@azmike1]

Well, you have convinced me that all or most ICO's are scams and in this day and age and as of this writing.....I am sure that a scam of this kind is everywhere including existing coins on the market. No thanks. HODL is probably the only way to invest.
